The beloved puzzle-adventure series is returning with 'Professor Layton and the New World of Steam', set to launch in 2025 exclusively on the Nintendo Switch. Level-5 confirms that the game will pick up one year after 'Professor Layton and the Unwound Future', taking players to Steam Bison, America, where advanced steam engines have created a technological wonder surpassing even that of London. The story will follow the renowned Professor Hershel Layton as he embarks on a new mystery, this time without Luke, his trusty sidekick.

In the new game description, Layton is now acting on his own as Luke Triton has moved to the United States for family reasons. Despite the distance, Luke's puzzle-solving skills have made him a small-town celebrity. Fans are eager to dive into the enhanced world full of riddles and mysteries.

Expected to release after the rumored launch of Nintendo's next-generation console, it's anticipated that 'Professor Layton and the New World of Steam' might also be available on the new system. With Nintendo's commitment to supporting the nearly seven-year-old Switch into 2025, it suggests that the title could bridge the gap between the two console generations.

'Professor Layton and the New World of Steam' marks the 10th installment in the Layton series and the eighth featuring Hershel Layton as the protagonist. This upcoming game ends a long hiatus since fans last saw Layton in a starring role, fueling excitement for this new, steam-powered installment in the franchise.
